Ha..just took my bike to catch some pokemon. Picture this: you are mid 70 y/o, seen some stuff already. Just sitting in a nice Cafe outside. It's Sunny and 1pm. Suddenly some 20y/o guy shoots around the corner with his bike. Big ass headphones, sunglasses, snapback on his head. He comes to a full stop 20 ft away from you. Quickly pulls out his phone and starts to kind of scanning his environment with it. Smiles..than giggles. Flips his fingers across the screen a few times and giggles even louder. Hes looking peaceful now. Satisfied even. He Scans around with his phone and looks up terrified as the Viewing angle of his camera hits your smiling face. You nod. He nods. Turns his bike around and gets the f out of there. That Boy is me. Im humiliated.

I was playing on the L this morning and didn't realize you could turn the AR mode off. I caught a Rattata on a woman's boob :/ I don't think she noticed but I'm pretty sure another lady next to me gave me a scowl.

I'm looking forward to playing on the L. I feel like you would cover a ton of ground quickly, no? Also, I'm dreading going anywhere near the lake front path. That's gonna turn into even more of a shit show now.

Toggles the battery life optimization feature. Battery Saver disables the display while the device is pointed downward. Pokémon GO will continue to track distance traveled and notify you of nearby Pokémon while Battery Saver is activated.

from what I've seen, it puts up a really dark grey screen with a pokeball emblem in the middle whenever your phone is angled down or sideways significantly from how you normally use it to play, it may also be shortening the screen dim/standby mode timers
